Or clockwork.

Regardless of the degree to which the human mind works like an LLM, my reductionist tendency has always imagined that the human mind will be found to be built from simple enough principles (but at scale, of course). In that regard, LLM as model for the human brain (or at least one aspect of it) is attractive to me. I admit it.

Before clockwork, human mind was a city (Plato, Marcus Aurelius, i.a.)

I thought the whole idea behind LLMs is that they exhibit emergent behavior beyond the data they ingest. This makes the reductionist view untenable.
